So, with all that in the backdrop, it was an absolute given that the president would wake up Monday morning and get to tweetin’. And Executive Time was, as the kids like to say, lit.

After smearing terminally ill John McCain once again for voting against the Obamacare repeal bill, POTUS cited “numerous legal scholars” to assert he had the “absolute right to PARDON myself.”

As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong? In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!

Oh, but he wasn’t done. Following some more tweets in which he defended his recent trade policies — tweets that appeared to be influenced by watching Fox Business — Trump then went after the special counsel, as he is wont to do. This time around, he declared that the very appointment of Mueller was “UNCONSTITUTIONAL.”

The appointment of the Special Counsel is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Despite that, we play the game because I, unlike the Democrats, have done nothing wrong!
